Why utilizing the services of a Buyer's Agent when purchasing new construction is a no brainer?
When you decide to take the leap and buy a new construction – a home you get to customize and be the first to live in – it can seem so easy. You are the one calling the shots, and there is no risk of winding up in a home with a bunch of problems caused by previous owners.
Unfortunately, if you go forward blindly into your home purchase you will not be the first to discover that buying new construction is not as simple, or as trouble free, as you imagined.
There is still a lot that can go wrong, and you can still wind up with a property that is not nearly as perfect as you expected.
One of the questions buyers often wonderis whether it is necessary to have a buyer's agent when purchasing new construction. The answer is a resounding yes!
The truth is, you need a buyer's agent to look out for your interests when buying new construction. As with any home purchase, there are too many potential pitfalls, hidden risks, and complications involved in the process to guarantee a good result unless you have experienced help.
In fact, it is vital to have a list of questions to ask a builder before moving forward. The answers to these questions could have a dramatic impact on whether you enjoy your home building experience or end up a frustrated mess! You will find this is one of the best resources around on what to think about before buying a new home. Be sure to read it!
You will find this is one of the best resources around on what to think about before buying a new home. Be sure to read it!
1. Your agent can help ensure you hire the right builder.
Without a doubt, one of the top reasons why you should have a buyer's agent when purchasing a new home is to be able to get a professional's advice on the reputation of the builder.
One of the greatest things about working with a good Realtor is that you benefit from his or her network of agents, vendors, lenders and other industry professionals. Word gets around when businesses or service providers don't take care of their customers in the real estate industry.
If there is a builder in your area that isn't reputable, chances are the agent will know about it. On the flip side, he or she is likely to have heard about the builders that go above and beyond for their customers.
With new construction just about anything can go wrong. You are after all building a home that takes a while to construct. There are any number of things that can cause problems including weather, labor shortages, as well as issues with materials.
Some builders have an exceptional reputation for delivering homes on time. Others are the exact opposite. In fact, one of the greatest complaints you find from those buying new construction is the builder's inability to complete the home on time.
It doesn't come as a shocker to know how stressful buying and selling a house at the same time can be when your new home is not going to be completed on time!
2. Your agent can help guide you when it comes to the lot, location, and neighborhood.
The best value in real estate is not always clear without extensive experience to guide you. While you can just go with your gut, working with your agent can help ensure you make choices about your purchase that will best serve your interests.
Picking out the best lot, the right community for your lifestyle, the neighborhood features you want and the upgrades that are worthwhile – your agent can help out with all of these things. You are the final decision maker, but the best leaders have capable advisers to help guide their choices.
While you can choose to work with any real estate agent, having someone in your corner with experience selling new construction can be a huge asset!
For example, in new construction, the lot you choose can have significant consequences. Quite often buyers will be choosing a lot from a classy looking neighborhood plan. It will look all green and pretty. The fact of the matter is you really don't know what you're getting from looking at a builders marketing plan.
An agent who knows new construction inside and out will ask to see the lots specific site plan. From this, you will be able to gather the topography of the lot. Maybe you don't want a steeply sloping lot? How about finding out there is a large drainage ditch in your backyard? Maybe you will discover there is a large utility box smack dab in your front yard! Are you getting the point here?
Many buyers do not think of these things until they have committed to a contract and it's too late.
Someone who is in your corner can also check out other things that may impact the long-term value or your property.
This is another great reason why it is paramount to have skilled buyer's agent in your corner.
3. A buyer's agent can guide you on appropriate upgrades and plan modifications.
One of the nice things about new construction is you should be able to customize the home to your exact needs and wants. Of course, like any other home, there are certain amenities that are going to be more important than others. Without proper guidance, you could easily spend a lot of money on things that don't matter when it comes time to sell.
Again, an experienced buyer's agent can guide you into some of the best new home upgrades with the highest return on investment. Some improvements really make a difference, while others are throwing money away.
An agent who also has experience working with builders from the ground up can often be great consultants for making small modifications to a plan. I can't tell you the number of times I have tweaked a builder's standard plan into something better.
On such change recently was adding a laundry room upstairs instead of an oversized sitting room in a secondary bedroom. This feature alone added to the home value and will reduce marketing time in the future.
This is the kind of advice that can help you years later when you go to sell.
4. Your agent will make sure all the paperwork, including the contract, is in order.
Having a buyer's agent isn't just important when buying a new home. Having a fiduciary in your corner is always important. Many folks often wonder what a buyer's agent does for you. Real estate purchases involve a lot of paperwork, documents that can be confusing and overwhelming. Your agent will make sure all the paperwork is filled and filed correctly.
He or she will also help you review any contracts you sign to make sure you are protected and that you are getting what you think you are getting. Your agent will verify that all aspects of the contract are understood by you and that you are OK with them. If there are any issues, the agent will notice them and be capable of explaining them clearly to you and to the builder.
Your agent can also recommend an attorney who will add addenda to the contract that will guard against complications should something go wrong. Typically, a builder's standard contract is written in a highly protective manner that favors the builder.
The attorney can help protect your interests including looking over the thoroughness of the building specifications and builders warranty.
5. Your agent will negotiate on your behalf.
When buying new construction, it is imperative that you have a buyer's agent. Someone who is in your corner representing your best interests. You do not want to go directly to the listing agent in most circumstances. In many states, this is what's referred to as dual agency.
A real estate agent is supposed to explain how dual agency works but many agents don't know themselves or explain it in a way that makes it sound perfectly fine for a consumer. It is not. A Dual agent is a neutral party in the sale. They are not allowed to guide you as a buyer's agent would by law!
With dual agency, you have nobody in your corner to negotiate on your behalf. Dual agency is, in fact, the dumbest thing that was ever created in the real estate industry.
A strong negotiator understands the true value of all aspects of the deal. Your agent understands what you want and need. He or she also understands what the builder values most. Because your agent sees both sides clearly, he or she is the one most capable of negotiating a deal that will be to your benefit.
For example – everyone knows the builder will want to sell the home for the highest price possible. But the builder is not just motivated by making as much money as possible from the sale. The builder also wants to keep the price high because it helps the builder sell the next home for a similar price.
The builder can point to your sale and expect the next buyer to accept a price that is somewhere near what you paid. However, because keeping the price at a certain point is so important, it means that the builder might be willing to give you other concessions in negotiations – such as offering upgrades.
Keep in mind, however, that every market is different. If the builder is selling all his homes at full price and not give away any upgrades, don't expect your agent to perform miracles. In some areas, builders can't build the homes fast enough to keep up with buyer demand. Don't expect a builder to discount when they don't need to. However, if you have an agent, and a price increase just occurred and other area development have yet to follow suit your agent can let you know this so you can negotiate the price down to the previous price before the increase.
5. Your agent is a professional that will represent you through the entire buying process.
Anyone with the financial means to buy a new home can go find a builder and purchase new construction. Unfortunately, doing things this way puts the buyer at a considerable disadvantage. Not only does the average person not have the ability to determine which builders are reputable, he or is also likely to be taken advantage of by the professionals working for the builder.
It doesn't have to be malicious, it's just business. The builder and the employees of the builder are there to make as much money as possible.
With a reputable buyer's agent, you get to step back and make the key decisions that will get you what you want – while the agent filters all the marketing, salesmanship and other noise into the facts that will help you make the best choice. Your agent will find builders that you can trust and will help you see the offerings of each builder clearly so you can compare and choose what is the best value for you.
6. The agent at the builder's site represents the builder, not you.
Keep in mind that the real estate agent working for the builder is focused on the best interests of his client – the company selling the homes. You deserve to have your own agent, someone who will be looking out for you. Most of the time, the site agent will be happy to work with your agent. But even if he or she isn't, you should still have your own agent to protect your interests.
Just think if a problem comes up during construction and you don't have a Buyer's Agent, now you must go to the builder's agent and he must go to his boss to address the issue. How hard will the builder's agent press his boss to fix the issue? Now if you have a Buyer's Agent this agent can address this issue with the builder's agents, his boss maybe the president of the company…also the reputation of the company may be on the line…agent's talk to each other.
When buying any home, it is always wise to have an exclusive buyer's representative in your corner fighting hard for your best interests. There are so many questions that can come up when buying new construction. You want a trusted advisor you can bounce your questions off of.
Asking advice to a builder representative is going probably going to get you very different answers. Hopefully, by now you understand why having a buyer's agent when purchasing new construction is paramount to your success.

In order to sleep like a baby, you should be very aware of how loud you are when you are catching some z's. Without proper guidance you could end up with sleep apnea in your old age if you aren't eating the right foods or getting the right nutrients into your body. Take care of yourself to avoid all of these awful things. Our new way of addressing these issues is getting a snoring mouthpiece. These can be found for very cheap at your local grocery store or at a local shop that sells mattresses. The amount of discounted rates you can get are unimaginable.
If you take the time to review how you sleep, you may need to lay in your bed for a longer period of time before passing out. Studies have shown that men have a harder time getting and staying in bed because their mind is always racing. Continue to fight for the newest technology so that you can wake up refreshed and energized.
Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece
These are often very had to get a hold of because they are very expensive. The reason they aren't sold more often is because of the price.
What to do about it
Their are many members of congress who know that this issue is one where you will be fighting hard. No one understands that coffee keeps people awake and makes them snore loudly. The snoring problem in America all comes down to the stress that we endure.
Take into account the new ways that people can prevent this:
A sleep apnea machine can stop it dead in it's tracks because you are basically being breathed by it. My mother hated this machine because it is big and bulky. No one like to carry those things around on your vacation. You don't want to have to take it with you everywhere.

Dirty Sexy Money joined Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone this past fall when it too was cancelled despite having a small, loyal following. And like Eli and Pushing, Dirty Sexy Money's last remaining episodes will begin airing again. In fact, the remainder of the second season will start airing this Saturday, July 18th on ABC.
"The Facts" is the first of these episodes and it has the Darling family away for Thanksgiving, leaving Clark (Shawn Michael Patrick), the chauffeur, to appease a relentless and sexy reporter by setting straight Darling rumors regarding family betrayal, possible criminal cover-ups and murder accusations.
Also, Letitia (Jill Clayburgh) holds the Ferragamo fashion show at the Darling mansion and one of the socialite attendees (Donna Mills) has some angry words for the family matriarch.
Tune into ABC on Saturday nights to watch Dirty Sexy Money wrap up its final season, starting with "The Facts", which airs on Saturday, July 18th at 10:00pm ET on ABC.
And if you're impatient in waiting for the new episode, pass some time at our Dirty Sexy Money message board or hit up our dedicated Dirty Sexy Money portal, where you can find all of the latest Dirty Sexy Money reviews, news and information.

Tom Clarke thinks magic is something to help win football matches or do his homework, until he encounters the alien Nekross…
Let's get something out of the way straightaway: this is not a reworking of The Sarah Jane Adventures with the serial numbers filed off and a slightly-reworked set ups. It's a similarly smart adventure series for the same age group that loved the SJA for its mix of fantasy, family and good old-fashioned story-telling.
The opening episode of any show has a lot to do, in terms of quickly establishing the characters and their relationships to each other, and Phil Ford does a good job here, with Tom's attitude to magic, and the differing approaches to it of his father and gran set up in the first five minutes. Annette Badland is a million miles from Margaret the Slitheen, although there's clearly a similar core of steel there which will come to the fore when her family are threatened.
As for the aliens, any group that's got Brian Blessed voicing their king is never going to be accused of excessive subtlety, and there's an interesting contrast between the grounded school-based scenes and those on the Nekross ship. A bit more shading would give them substance, but it's always clear where your sympathies are meant to lie.
Verdict: A good start that should keep viewers tuning in on its own merits, rather than just its pedigree. 7/10

Werner Sollors to present Patten Lectures
Jan. 20 and 22, 7:30 p.m., Chemistry room 122, IU Bloomington --One of the foremost Americanists today, Werner Sollors, the Henry B. and Anne M. Cabot Professor of English and Professor of African and African American Studies from Harvard University, will present two lectures: "African American Intellectuals and Europe between the Two World Wars" on Tuesday, Jan. 20, and "'Heil, Johnny': Billy Wilder's A Foreign Affair: or, The Denazification of Erika von Schlütow" on Thursday, Jan. 22. Sollors will discuss in his first lecture the period that witnessed the rise of communism and its transformation into Stalinism, the emergence of fascism, two momentous "interwar wars," and numerous African American intellectuals that met their counterparts in Europe. In his second lecture, he'll discuss how on Aug. 16, 1945, film director Billy Wilder proposed "propaganda through entertainment" to the Information Control Division of the American Military Government in Germany, offering to make an "entertainment film," "a very special love story, cleverly devised to help us sell a few ideological items." Working with a comedy that was a Paramount Studios property, Wilder transformed it into the film A Foreign Affair (1948), starring Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich. Set against the background of ruined Berlin, the film deals with denazification and fraternization.

This wide-ranging chronicle of the war from the view point of the photographer is the first of its kind. Gilbertson's narratives convey the exhilaration and terror of photographing war, as well as the challenges of photojournalism in our age of embedded reporting. The photographs of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot depict the full range of human experience called up by the war in Iraq. A photographer for the New York Times, Newsweek and Time, among others, Gilbertson will discuss his recent exhibit and book, Whiskey, Tango Foxtrot: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Iraq War . Described as "harrowing snapshots of the American Soul," Gilbertson's book of photographs was chosen as a "Best Book of 2007" by Amazon.

Nasscom floats product council to counter iSpirt
Nasscom has floated a product council with a revenue mandate of $10 billion by 2020. Headed by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ravi Gururaj, the product council was formed after Nasscom attracted criticism for not giving enough attention to the products space.
In February this year, some 30 Indian software product companies have come together to form a new association -- iSpirt, marking the first break from the omnibus Nasscom and reflecting the growing confidence and maturity of the software product community.
Will the Indian product space witness a clash of interests with the co-existence of these two product bodies for products, industry observers wonder.
Manav Garg, CEO, Eka Software, Girish Mathrubootham, CEO, Freshdesk, Sanjay Parthasarthy, founder, Indix, Hanuman Tripathi, MD, Infrasoft, Narasimhan Mandyam, CEO, PK4 Software and Rohith Bhat MD of Robosoft will be the key members of the Nasscom product council. The founding members of iSpirt include Bharat Goenka, co-founder of Tally Solutions, and Sharad Sharma, former head of Yahoo India R&D.

|Shizuka Dômeki
Shizuka Dōmeki

|Haruka Dōmeki (grandfather, deceased)
|Tokyo, Japan
|Excorsise spirits
|First Appearance
|xxxHOLiC manga 13
|First Appearance
|xxxHOLiC episode 2
|Kazuya Nakai
|J. Michael Tatum
Shizuka Dômeki (百目鬼 静 Dōmeki Shizuka) is a fictional character in the Clamp manga, and anime, xxxHolic. In the anime he is voiced by Kazuya Nakai.
Shizuka Dômeki is Kimihiro Watanuki's classmate and considered a rival by Watanuki. He is part of the school's kyūdō club and often participates (and tops) school competitions. Also because of his cool and calm composure he is very popular with the girls.
He lives in a shrine owned by his late grandfather, a priest in which during his childhood told him a lot of stories about folklore and shinto practices. However, despite his heritage, Dômeki has a nearly null ability of seeing ghosts or spirits, though he can still exorcise them. He does seem to be able to feel spiritual "pressure" and have a vague sense of their presence. One spirit he did see was the Lady in the Park that Watanuki often visited.
Dômeki has a pure or refreshing scent as noted by the Ame-Warashi. Kohane noted that Doumeki was a 'beautiful' or 'pretty' person, most likely referring to his spirit or aura. Naturally, Watanuki is bewildered (and rather agitated) by this. Dômeki cannot enter Yuuko's Store, the explanation why is later revealed on volume 8. His technique of exorcising spirits is by shooting them with an invisible arrow made of pure energy, as first revealed in volume 2.
Originally Dômeki could not see the spirits/ghosts that Watanuki could see (like that of the oden shop owner and the Ghost Girl who haunted a scary home) but after he shared both his blood and half his eye with Watanuki he was able to eventually see and experience what Watanuki goes through.
Dômeki's personality is a total opposite of Watanuki's. He has a cool, calm and often sarcastic demeanor. He barely speaks unless explaining folklore or asking Watanuki for impossible bento lunches (such as asking for food that is out of season or hard to find). He also has a deadpan sense of humor that is often dark and somewhat fatalistic. Much to the annoyance of Watanuki he seems to pop up everywhere, especially when Watanuki gets a chance to be with Himawari. He often replies in a one word phrase like "Hn" or "Oh". He is also very observant, and even though he does not show it he seems to be very protective of Watanuki, such as in Volume 5 where he stood for hours in the rain to make sure Watanuki was safe and in Volume 6 during the incident with the spirit in the park. Volume 9 of the manga through Dômeki's New Years dream we find out he looks like his late grandfather Haruka. His grandfather also knows more about Dômeki's past, and bears an uncanny resemblance to his grandson (though Watanuki points out that Haruka smiles much more).
Role in the story and relationship with Watanuki
It has been sighted multiple times by various characters that Watanuki will be linked to someone that will make a major contribution to his life. The clearest citation of this all is the phrase "someone he (Watanuki) will constantly fight with." This is believed to be Dômeki and was later confirmed. Dômeki is constantly seen throughout the series as an annoyance to Watanuki. Dômeki often has a sarcastic way of making Watanuki help out with his chores as well as make lunches for him. Yuuko has advised Watanuki to stay close to Dômeki, since his mere presence drives away evil spirits. Thus because of this Yuuko always asks Watanuki to bring Dômeki along his "assignments".
Even though Dômeki may seem sarcastic around Watanuki and is sometimes annoyed with his eccentricity, Dômeki does hold a large amount of concern for him- as shown in the following instances:
- Angel San arc: When Watanuki fell over the school rooftop, he caught him and held on to his hand despite the fact that his arm was injured.
- Volume 5 Hydrangea arc: Where he dug up a hole and waited for 10 hours in the rain for Watanuki to re-emerge from the Ajasai after Watanuki disappeared.
- Volume 5 Wings arc: In which he stood up for Watanuki against the irate girl and caught the box cutter she wielded in his fist before she could stab Watanuki.
- Volume 6 Lady in the Park: Or, also known as lady who lost her son. After much concern about Watanuki's decline in health and rescuing him after he collapsed at Yuuko's shop, Dômeki made a choice of shooting the Lady (who appeared transparent to him) with his arrow. Later on in the story, Yuuko explained that Dômeki did this because he did not want to lose Watanuki.
- Volume 7 - 8 Spider Grudge Arc: In volume 7, Dômeki invokes the wrath of a spider when he destroys its web and in revenge, his right eye is sewn over with a spider web. Upon learning that Dômeki will eventually lose the sight in that eye, Watanuki finds a way to transfer the spider's grudge (making Watanuki lose his eye to save Dômeki's) to himself. In response, Dômeki becomes very agitated and concerned- even losing his self control by shouting at him and pushing him towards the wall. He starts researching ways to get Watanuki's eye back. In volume 8 Watanuki goes to see the Spider Queen to save the Zashiki-Warashi but in the process he completely loses his right eye's sight. Dômeki then decides to give half of his right eye's sight to Yuuko so she can transfer it to Watanuki. Currently, he and Watanuki sometimes share visions since they share half an eye. This is only one of the many situations in which the two lend each other a helping hand; it's obvious that their futures are tightly intertwined.
- Volume 9 Sakura Tree and Kohane in the rain Chapter: After Watanuki gives his umbrella to Kohane at the park, Dômeki appears shortly after, and in a very awkward yet touching moment, says that he had an umbrella ready for Watanuki so he wouldn't catch a cold. He also prepared ginger tea for him at his house.
- Volume 10 : In chapter 118-119 of the manga, he saw Watanuki falling from the schoolbuilding and was the one who brought him to Yuuko's shop. Because of this, he now became a client of Yuuko and was able to finally enter the shop, for in order to save Watanuki, he gave his blood as a replacement for the amount of blood Watanuki lost.
- Volume 11 Chapter 139: Where Kohane's "Mother" tried to hit Watanuki after she saw Kohane speaking and drinking tea with them. Dômeki was able to pull Watanuki out of the woman's way. Dômeki seems to be sensing something different about Kohane's mom and her violent nature. Also in this chapter Yuuko and Mokona stated that Dômeki and Watanuki are both changing in the inside (part of the eyes they both share and blood he donated) and that Dômeki will indeed be a part of the final " battle" or challenge that Watanuki has to face.
- Volume 12: The manga introduces Sakura entering the dream world in which she and Watanuki would meet. At these time Watanuki would just blank out from time to time, causing much concern to Dômeki especially after Kohane's mother splashed Watanuki with hot water, when Watanuki blacked out to dream state and barely got Haruka's warning before going conscious.
- Chapter 149-155: Domeki helps Watanuki as he tries to break into a television studio doing a live psychic broadcast involving Kohane. When Watanuki holds Kohane and shields her from her mother's blows, Domeki physically restrains her so she can stop hitting him. Later at Yuuko's store, he expresses concern over both Watanuki and Kohane's situations, repeatedly questioning Watanuki about his motives.
The relationship between Watanuki and Dômeki is growing stronger with Watanuki gradually beginning to accept Dômeki's presence. It is clear that Watanuki is of significance to Dômeki but as little is known of the latter's past beyond his interaction with Watanuki, it is unclear how or why Dômeki makes an effort to associate himself with Watanuki. He prefers to address Watanuki as simply 'hey', 'you', or 'idiot' and on the rare occasions where he does speak Watanuki's name he does so without any of the normal suffixes of '-kun' or '-san'.
Dômeki shows that he cares only through actions. Whenever Watanuki thanks him or, such as chapter 155 case, says that he wasn't worried because Dômeki would be there for him, Dômeki states how he has hit his head on something, avoiding giving an answer.
In chapter 159 Domeki reveals to Kohane why he stays with Watanuki. He tells of one day he saw Watanuki standing in the rain, holding a dead animal tenderly. He hears Watanuki say, "I'll die like this too. Alone." After telling Kohane this she asks him to take care of Watanuki and not to hesitate when the moment comes that he'll be needed.
In chapter 213, it is revealed that Domeki has long since passed away, and that his grandson has taken his place as Watanuki's assistant. Domeki carries the egg with him that was given to his grandfather. It is hinted that the egg's purpouse was to allow Watanuki to forget Yuuko, and that neither he nor his descendants could bring themselves to use it, because of their appreciation and respect for him.
Dômeki and Yûko's Shop
Early on in the manga Dômeki and Yuko Ichihara separately stated that Dômeki could not enter Yuko's store. This was finally explained in volume 8 of the manga; since he does not need her store, he does not see it. To Domeki, the area where the shop is supposedly standing is just a huge empty lot with old posts. In the lady in the park episode where Yuuko calls him to wait for Watanuki after he collapsed, Watanuki seemingly appears out of nowhere.
However in Volume 10 of the manga, after Watanuki's near death experience from falling, upon Yuuko's orders he sent Watanuki to Yuuko's shop. He was able to enter because this time he and Himawari needed to pay the price to Yuuko in order to save Watanuki.
- The kanji of Dômeki's given name, Shizuka ("静") means "quiet or calm" and is likely meant to reflect his character. In conversation the word is often used in a command that literally means "be quiet" (shizuka ni), something often said to Watanuki. Likewise, the kanji of his family name are individually read as "numerous" "eye" and "ghost or spirit" likely referring to the role of members of his family as exorcists as well as his ability to protect Watanuki from harm, as well as a possible inside reference to the incident when the spider took his eye.
- He is a heavy drinker.
- Dômeki's birthday is on March 3rd, which is also Hinamatsuri, a fact that Watanuki has once teased him on.
- In volume 9 when Watanuki first saw Dômeki's grandfather Haruka, his style of exorcising spirits was also shooting a bow and arrow.
- Archery is occasionally used in Shinto ceremonies; Dômeki happens to live in a Buddhist temple and his grandfather was a Shinto priest. The concept of exorcising spirits with a bow and arrows is not uncommon in pop culture in Japan; this idea appears in Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha, where two of the female leads (Kagome Higurashi and Kikyo) both employ arrows channeling their own spiritual power to cleanse and eliminate enemies.
- It is revealed in the OVA titled xxxHOLiC Rou Adayume that Domeki married Kohane. He hands Watanuki an invitation to their wedding, even though he knows that Watanuki cannot attend. He states that despite their upcoming union, the one Kohane really loves is Watanuki.

stravage was our Word of the Day on 09/11/2012. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Did You Know?
A synonym of "roam," "wander," and "ramble," "stravage" (also spelled "stravaig") isn't likely to pop up in your local newspaper-unless you're stravaging in Scotland or one of its neighbors. "Stravage" is not a new word; our earliest evidence of it dates to the late 18th century, when it likely developed by shortening and alteration from the now-archaic word extravagate, a synonym for "stray" and "roam" that can also mean "to go beyond proper limits." Note that if you use it correctly, you won't be extravagating by using "stravage"-no matter where you call home.

A memory card or flash memory card is solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device capable of storing digital contents. These are mainly used with digital cameras, handheld and Mobile computers, mobile phones, music players, digital cinematography cameras, video game consoles, and other electronics. They offer high re-record-ability, power-free storage, small form factor, and rugged environmental specifications. There are also non-solid-state memory cards that do not use flash memory, and there are different types of flash memory. Many cards incorporate wear levelling algorithms in their design.
There are many different types of memory cards and jobs they are used for. Some common places include in digital cameras, game consoles, cell phones, and industrial applications. PC card (PCMCIA) were among first commercial memory card formats (type I cards) to come out in the 1990s, but are now only mainly used in industrial applications and for I/O jobs (using types I/II/III), as a connection standard for devices (such as a modem). Also in 1990s, a number of memory card formats smaller than PC Card came out, including CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and Miniature Card. In other areas, tiny embedded memory cards (SID) were used in cell phones, game ds. The desire for ultra-small cards for cell-phones, PDAs, and compact digital cameras drove a trend toward smaller cards that left the previous generation of "compact" cards looking big. In digital cameras SmartMedia and CompactFlash had been very successful, in 2001 SM alone captured 50% of the digital camera market and CF had a strangle hold on professional digital cameras. By 2005 however, SD/MMC had nearly taken over SmartMedia's spot, though not to the same level and with stiff competition coming from Memory Stick variants, as well as CompactFlash. In industrial fields, even the venerable PC card (PCMCIA) memory cards still manage to maintain a niche, while in cell-phones and PDAs, the memory card market is highly fragmented.

VID is an image format associated with Vidcom 64, a graphics design application launched in 1986 for use on Commodore 64 computers. This brand of computers was released in the early 1980s and gained a lot of popularity among home users, to this date being the highest selling model of personal computers in the world. VID images are now considered archaic and rare.
ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert VIDs. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Start reaConverter and load all the .vid files you intend to convert into .ico because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select VIDs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .ico files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Then pick the ICO as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!Try Free Trial Version
Advanced users can convert VID to ICO via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.Download reaConverter Pro with CLI

And I dreamt of Daddy. The location was at Ah Mah's house when someone yelled loudly that Mummy was driving home. I ran to the front gate. I saw Mummy behind the wheels, Daddy sat next to her and Fats was at the back of the car. Mummy and Fats didnt seem to see me because Mummy started to drive off. I grabbed hold of Daddy's hands. He looked like how I last saw of him. He seemed relaxed and seated comfortably.
I asked him multiple questions, Daddy answered few and told me that he was okay. Told me to be good and study hard. My pace quickened to catch up with the car. I asked if he visits me. Daddy nodded. Sadly in my dream, I panicked and cant remember much of the conversation. He advised me not to fight with my friends and the deal about who cared and who did not doesnt matter. He said I am appreciated.
Then I asked him how he moves around.. does he fly to me, fly about or what? He answered in these exact words.. "Hmmm.. something like that". Mummy had driven off the curb and I woke up. I miss Daddy so much. I know he definitely came into my dream and I refuse to believe anything else. He really did. I couldnt help but sobbed loudly as I prepared to leave the house.
Later I called Mummy who was on her way back to KL. She listened attentively and told me 2 incidents.
1. Our neighbour Mrs.Lin came over to water the pot plants. She rang Mummy up and said "Ehhh.. your husband came home. There was a huge butterfly (she meant moth) flying in and out of the house, around the garden for a long time".
2. Mummy told me.. "I dreamt of your father too. He brought me to this place. There were things lying around so I asked to whom they belonged to. He told me not to bother, they were not his and walked me elsewhere. It looked like a well-kept house and he had everything".
I am religious as much as I am a believer.. I told my friends and they werent one bit surprised. They said Daddy and I shared a very close bond so it was natural for him to come in my dreams. You know.. a moth flew into Ah Mah's house during the prayers at the funeral. Daddy watches over us. I am sure of it. I wish he would come into my dreams more often. I miss him so much.
ps. I fought with Quek yesterday in class. He said I dont appreciate people who never expressed their condolences in actions (which isnt true). Its a long story but seems to me.. Daddy heard it all.

Remember that the Internet's network-layer service (IP service) is untrustworthy. IP does not guarantee datagram delivery, does not guarantee in-order delivery of datagrams, and does not guarantee the integrity of the data in the datagrams. With IP service, datagrams can overflow router buffers and never reach their destination, datagrams can arrive out of order, and bits in the datagram can get corrupted (flipped from 0 to 1 and vice versa). Because transport-layer segments are carried across the network by IP datagrams, transport-layer segments can suffer from these difficulties as well.
TCP makes a reliable data transfer service on top of IP's unreliable best-effort service. TCP's reliable data transfer service makes sure that the data stream that a process reads out of its TCP receive buffer is uncorrupted, without gaps, without duplication, and in sequence; that is, the byte stream is exactly the same byte stream that was sent by the end system on the other side of the connection. How TCP provides a reliable data transfer involves many of the principles that we studied in "Principles of Reliable Data Transfer".
In our previous development of reliable data transfer techniques, it was conceptually easiest to suppose that an individual timer is associated with each transmitted but not yet acknowledged segment. While this is great in theory, timer management can require substantial overhead. Thus, the recommended TCP timer management procedures use only a single retransmission timer, even if there are several transmitted but not yet acknowledged segments. The TCP protocol explained in this section follows this single-timer recommendation.
We will discuss how TCP provides reliable data transfer in two incremental steps. We first present a highly simplified description of a TCP sender that uses only timeouts to recover from lost segments; we then present a more complete description that uses duplicate acknowledgments in addition to timeouts. In the subsequent discussion, we assume that data is being sent in only one direction, from Host A to Host B, and that Host A is sending a large file.
Figure 1 presents a highly simplified description of a TCP sender. We see that there are three most important events related to data transmission and retransmission in the TCP sender, data received from application above; timer timeout; and ACK receipt. Upon the occurrence of the first most important event, TCP receives data from the application, encapsulates the data in a segment, and passes the segment to IP. Note that each segment contains a sequence number that is the byte-stream number of the first data byte in the segment, as explained in "TCP Segment Structure". Also note that if the timer is already not running for some other segment. TCP starts the timer when the segment is passed to IP. (It is helpful to think of the timer as being associated with the oldest unacknowledged segment.) The expiration interval for this timer is the TimeoutInterval, which is calculated from EstimatedRTT and DevRTT, as explained in "Round-Trip Time Estimation and Timeout".
The second most important event is the timeout. TCP responds to the timeout event by retransmitting the segment that caused the timeout. TCP then restarts the timer.
The third most important event that must be handled by the TCP sender is the arrival of an acknowledgment segment (ACK) from the receiver (more specifically, a segment containing a valid ACK field value). On the occurrence of this event, TCP compares the ACK value y with its variable SendBase. The TCP state variable SendBase is the sequence number of the oldest unacknowledged byte. (Therefore SendBase-1 is the sequence number of the last byte that is known to have been received correctly and in order at the receiver.) As mentioned earlier, TCP uses cumulative acknowledgments, so that y acknowledges the receipt of all bytes before byte number y. If y > SendBase, then the ACK is acknowledging one or more previously unacknowledged segments. Therefore the sender updates its SendBase variable; it also restarts the timer if there currently are any not-yet-acknowledged segments.
A Few Interesting Scenarios
We have just explained a highly simplified version of how TCP provides reliable data transfer. But even this highly simplified version has many subtleties. To get a good feeling for how this protocol works, let's now walk through a few simple scenarios, Figure 2 shows the first scenario, in which Host A sends one segment to Host B. Assume that this segment has sequence number 92 and includes 8 bytes of data. After sending this segment, Host A waits for a segment from B with acknowledgment number 100. Although the segment from A is received at B, the acknowledgment from B to A gets lost. In this case, the timeout event occurs, and Host A retransmits the same segment. Obviously, when Host B receives the retransmission, it observes from the sequence number that the segment includes data that has already been received. Thus, TCP in Host B will discard the bytes in the retransmitted segment.
In a second scenario, shown in Figure 3, Host A sends two segments back to back. The first segment has sequence number 92 and 8 bytes of data, and the second segment has sequence number 100 and 20 bytes of data. Assume that both segments arrive intact at B, and B sends two separate acknowledgments for each of these segments. The first of these acknowledgements has acknowledgment number 100; the second has acknowledgment number 120. Assume now that neither of the acknowledgements arrives at Host A before the timeout. When the timeout event occurs, Host A resends the first segment with sequence number 92 and restarts the timer. As long as the ACK for the second segment arrives before the new timeout, the second segment will not be retransmitted.
In a third and final scenario, suppose Host A sends the two segments, exactly as in the second example. The acknowledgment of the first segment is lost in the network, but just before the timeout event, Host A receives an acknowledgment with acknowledgment number 120. Host A therefore knows that Host B has received everything up through byte 119; so Host A does not resend either of the two segments. This scenario is shown in Figure 4.
Doubling the Timeout Interval
We now discuss a few changes that most TCP implementations employ. The first concerns the length of the timeout interval after a timer expiration. In this modification, whenever the timeout event occurs, TCP retransmits the not-yet-acknowledged segment with the smallest sequence number, as explained above. But each time TCP retransmits, it sets the next timeout interval to twice the previous value, rather than deriving it from the last EstimatedRTT and DevRTT (as explained in "Round-Trip Time Estimation and Timeout"). For instance, assume Timeout Interval associated with the oldest not yet acknowledged segment is .75 sec when the timer first expires. TCP will then retransmit this segment and set the new expiration time to 1.5 sec. If the timer expires again 1.5 sec later, TCP will again retransmit this segment, now setting the expiration time to 3.0 sec. Thus the intervals grow exponentially after each retransmission. On the other hand whenever the timer is started after either of the two other events (that is, data received from application above, and ACK received), the TimeoutInterval is derived from the most recent values of EstimatedRTT and DevRTT.
This modification provides a limited form of congestion control. (More comprehensive forms of TCP congestion control will be studied in "TCP Congestion Control") The timer expiration is most likely caused by congestion in the network, that is, too many packets arriving at one (or more) router queues in the path between the source and destination, causing packets to be dropped and/or long queuing delays. In times of congestion, if the sources continue to retransmit packets persistently, the congestion may get worse. Instead, TCP acts more politely, with each sender retransmitting after longer and longer intervals. We will see that a similar idea is used by Ethernet when we study "CSMA/CD".
Fast Retransmit
One of the troubles with timeout-triggered retransmissions is that the timeout period can be relatively long. When a segment is lost, this long timeout period forces the sender to delay resending the lost packet, thereby increasing the end-to-end delay. Fortunately, the sender can often detect packet loss well before the timeout event takes place by noting so-called duplicate ACKs. A duplicate ACK is an ACK that reacknowledges a segment for which the sender has already received an earlier acknowledgment. To understand the sender's response to a duplicate ACK, we must look at why the receiver sends a duplicate ACK in the first place. Table 1 summarizes the TCP receivers ACK generation policy. When a TCP receiver receives a segment with a sequence number that is larger than the next expected, in-order sequence number, it detects a gap in the data stream that is, a missing segment. This gap could be the result of lost or reordered segments within the network.
Since TCP does not use negative acknowledgments, the receiver cannot send an explicit negative acknowledgment back to the sender. Instead, it simply reacknowledges (that is, generates a duplicate ACK for) the last in-order byte of data it has received. (Note that Table 1 allows for the case that the receiver does not discard out-of-order segments.)
Because a sender often sends a large number of segments back to back, if one segment is lost, there will likely be many back-to-back duplicate ACKs. If the TCP sender receives three duplicate ACKs for the same data, it takes this as an indication that the segment following the segment that has been ACKed three times has been lost. In the case that three duplicate ACKs are received, the TCP sender performs a fast retransmit, retransmitting the missing segment before that segment's timer expires. This is shown in Figure 5, where the second segment is lost, then retransmitted before its timer expires. For TCP with fast retransmit. the following code snippet replaces the ACK received event in Figure 1:
We noted earlier that many subtle issues arise when a timeout/retransmit mechanism is implemented in an actual protocol such as TCP. The procedures above, which have evolved as a result of more than 15 years of experience with TCP timers, should convince you that this is indeed the case.
Go-Back-N or Selective Repeat?
We close our study of TCP's error-recovery mechanism by looking at the following question: Is TCP a GBN or an SR protocol? Remember that TCP acknowledgments are cumulative and correctly received but out-of-order segments are not individually ACKed by the receiver.
Consequently, as shown in Figure 1 (see also "Go-Back-N (GBN) Figure 2"), the TCP sender need only maintain the smallest sequence number of a transmitted but unacknowledged byte (SendBase) and the sequence number of the next byte to be sent (NextSeqNum). In this sense, TCP looks a lot like a GBN-style protocol. But there are some striking differences between TCP and Go-Back-N. Many TCP implementations will buffer correctly received but out-of-order segments. Consider also what happens when the sender sends a sequence of segments 1,2, , N, and all of the segments arrive in order without error at the receiver. Further suppose that the acknowledgment for packet n < N gets lost, but the remaining N 1 acknowledgments arrive at the sender before their respective timeouts. In this instance, GBN would retransmit not only packet n, but also all of the following packets n + 1, n + 2, ., N. TCP, however, would retransmit at most one segment, namely, segment n. Furthermore, TCP would not even retransmit segment n if the acknowledgment for segment n + 1 arrived before the timeout for segment n.
A proposed modification to TCP, the so-called selective acknowledgment, allows a TCP receiver to acknowledge out-of-order segments selectively rather than just cumulatively acknowledging the last correctly received, in-order segment. When combined with selective retransmission - skipping the retransmission of segments that have already been selectively acknowledged by the receiver - TCP looks a lot like our generic SR protocol. In this way, TCPs error-recovery mechanism is perhaps best categorized as a hybrid of GBN and SR protocols.

As you may be able to tell, the look of this site has drastically changed. I've been meaning to overhaul the theme for a while, and I decided I also wanted to try something different from Wordpress. In particular, I wanted more flexibility with embedding code, which Octopress seems to be particularly good at:
1 2 3 4
Also, I just really like how Octopress blogs look by default. I've been fiddling with the theme on this today, and I'll probably continue to fiddle with it going forward. Because Octopress serves static content, I feel like I have somewhat more control over the look and feel of my blog – and importantly, I can try out changes locally before deploying them, which was not something I could do with Wordpress.
Hurray for change and learning new tools!

Leopard caught in poachers trap
January 14, 2011
A Leopard was found caught in a steel trap in the Raipur forest range near Dehradun within Rajaji National Park range. The Leopard was later tranquilized and taken under veterinary care by the forest department.
Nearby villagers reported this incident after they heard Leopard moaning through far distances. This was reported to the forest department who took ages to turn up before figuring out a way to work upon the situation.
After the incident was reported in morning/early afternoon the forest department was able to rescue the Leopard only by 9pm at night. Very poor standards of the department. And poor fate of the Leopard.
A Leopard scare in and around Anarwala village
January 14, 2011
Published on 13-Jan-2011
An active Leopard near Anarwala and Nayagaon villages adjoining Malsi and Raipur forest range is giving sleepless time to citizens there. People are apprehensive about venturing out of their homes when the dusk descends. As a precautionary step the forest department instituted a team there to monitor the Leopards movement.
People around Nayagaon in Anarwala village have been witnessing a big 6-7 feet full-grown Leopard for past three days. On Monday the Leopard was seen lurking near the farm-fields, too close for comfort. Since then the whole village is scared. There seems like a curfew in village come evenings.
Villagers are demanding proactive active from the forest department and relieve them from this scare. A forest team is keeping an eye on the situation under Deputy Ranger Rakesh Negi. The blasted some firecrackers to scare away the Leopard. The villagers have been instructed to stay alert and to alert the forest department if they get any sighting of the Leopard.
